First time for everything -_-

Myka Bland
University of Worcester
England

So it's been exactly ONE WEEK since I stepped foot in not only a different country, but a different culture. To say it has been easy is an understatement, but I have learned to manage traveling alone in a foreign city (i.e. bus routes and trains). However, food has become one of my biggest struggles. Don't get me wrong; I like bread, cheese, rice, and beans as well as the next person, but I am not a fan of it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It does make me feel some type of way when I have to travel off campus to get a burger, a steak, or even a good fettuccine Alfredo. However, I have experiences with some off-the-wall cafeterias (i.e. Pearsons Hall) so I was more than prepared to do what I had to do. Overall, I would mark my first week as a success (check mark)!
